Tuition that makes a difference

Lionheart tutors know exactly what it takes to prepare your child for the 7+ school entrance test and interview. Our experienced tutors empower your child to tackle a wide range of problems in both English and Maths, as well as verbal and non-verbal reasoning.

Get your child ready for the 7+ with a professional tutor

We’re here to help families take the stress out of your child’s first formal admissions process with an expert 7 Plus (7+) tutor, whether you wish to have in-person tuition or an online tutor.

The papers and testing at this stage aren’t too much of a challenge for the average Year 2 child, but the format can vary from school to school. Different educational establishments have different priorities, and even though the basics like English and Maths are tested, as well as reasoning, the interview and group assessments can carry a lot of weight.

Preparation with a 7+ tutor covers all aspects of the process for Year 3 entry into an independent school from a qualified tutor who has extensive knowledge of the process which enables them to guide your child.

Lionheart Education tutors build confidence with children, strengthening their skills whilst bringing calm and order to the process. 7 Plus tutoring helps parents to know that their child is secure in the basics of numeracy, literacy, and reasoning before the test, and it also gives families a sense of what they can expect from the process.

With the personalised 7 Plus preparation that we offer, every experience is adapted to the child and the school placement they are aiming for, which means we go the extra mile to study exactly what it is school admissions are looking for. We’ve been working with families in London and across the UK since 1989, matching tutors with students and delivering bespoke one-to-one tuition.

Frequently asked questions

  • Can a 7 Plus tutor prepare my child for interviews as well as written papers?

    With a Lionheart tutor by your side, your child will be prepared for informal assessments and verbal reasoning tasks as well as the core English and Maths. We work hard to make the sessions reassuring rather than strict or formal, and give them the confidence to handle 7 Plus interviews.

  • What results do you typically achieve for 7+ students?

    Our 7+ students consistently secure places at their first-choice schools, including London’s most competitive prep schools. We focus on developing genuine academic ability and interview skills rather than just exam technique, ensuring your child thrives once they begin at their new school.

  • Who will be tutoring my child for 7+?

    Lionheart Education prides itself on a matching system that is well-suited to the demands of the 7+ age range, with tutors who may have worked in pre-school and primary education. They know the ins and outs of 7+ school admission tests, and we are sure to reference check and DBS check every tutor who works with us.

  • When should we start preparing for the 7+?

    We typically recommend starting at least 3 to 6 months ahead of the exam, allowing time for confidence building before shifting focus to exam technique. However, we can tailor tuition to any timeframe that suits your family.
